Chapter 627 Patent Swap (Thirteenth Subscription Request)

"You and I both have a large patent reserve. I think that in the future, our two companies will carry out a series of mutual patent licensing and exchange patents, so as to enhance each other's market competitiveness and reduce R&D costs. Mr. Aurela, what do you think?"

"Well, you can give it a try. However, there is no guarantee that all patents are within the scope of mutual licensing. In addition, mutual patents are granted on the basis of the equivalent value of the patents. ”

"Of course, let's talk about the specific problems with our follow-up team!"

Patented technology is an insurmountable barrier, if it is only in China, naturally do not worry too much, but out of the country, it will be restricted everywhere.

The international market is not only suppressed by politics, ideology and so on, but also patent barriers are also an important reason. Nokia, Motorola and other companies are currently far ahead in terms of basic patents in mobile communications. If you want to wait for the other party's patent to expire, then ...... Well, the mobile phone with analog signal has expired, and people have already gone to 2G. When 2G patents expire one after another, then the 3G era has come. When 3G patents expire, they will be followed by 4G and 5G......

Each generation of patent protection law is more than 10 years old.

Not to mention that it has been more than ten years, it is three or five years late to enter the market, and the difficulty of obtaining market share has to be greatly improved. Therefore, the best way to reduce the difficulty of entering the market is to enter the market earlier and master more basic patents. After that, they can use their own patent reserves to negotiate with other competitors and exchange chips with each other.

"Well, I very much agree with Mr. Lin's idea, and the specific matters will be negotiated again, and a consensus can be reached, which will be of great help to the follow-up work of the two sides. Yoma Ollilah said with a smile.

The two then had a two-hour long talk, from the communication market to mobile phone manufacturing, of course, Lin Qi will never reveal what the future mobile phone market will be.

Not to mention the touch screen mobile phone Lin Qi will not say, even the next generation of 2G feature phones that can take pictures, listen to music, and surf the Internet will look like, Lin Qi is not ready to tell others.

You must know that although the 2G feature phone was later crushed by Apple and Android, it completely withdrew from the market. However, before withdrawing from the market, the global market sales of 2G feature phones can reach more than 500 million units. In addition to other even worse mobile phones, before the era of touchscreen mobile phones, mobile phones were already the largest consumer electronics with annual production and sales of more than 1 billion units, far larger than the consumer market share of computers.

Lin Qi talked about technical cooperation with Nokia, just for Nokia's patent licensing. Actually, without a Nokia license, it's not a big deal. At most, at the beginning, we will not do the international market, only make products in the domestic market, and wait until the domestic market is saturated, and then start to do the international market.

However, the consequence of that is that it is too out of touch with the international market, which is not conducive to the future staking in the international market.

In the next half month, the team of New Venture Electronics and Nokia negotiated to exchange patented technologies between the two sides.

This model of swapping patents is also a normal cooperation between technology companies in the international community.

Generally speaking, each other has some skills as chips, and they can exchange chips with each other. This kind of exchange of chips can reduce the cost of both parties.

In other words, it is not independent research and development technology, reducing investment in scientific and technological research and development, which seems to save money. However, in that case, it is necessary to accept the sky-high royalties of other giants.

Unless you don't do the international market, you have to act according to the international patent rules. Manufacturers without core technology need to accept the exploitation of a bunch of patent companies, and may eventually sell an electronic product for thousands of yuan, and only make a few dozen yuan for themselves. However, patent giants do not need to sell products, but they can get more patent shares than the manufacturers who sell products.

Basically, for the investment in technology, mastering the core technology independently is definitely more reliable than buying everything.

Even if they need the technology of other companies in the world, manufacturers with core technologies can exchange patents cheaply, while manufacturers without technology need to pay sky-high patent fees, which is equivalent to paying taxes to technology companies after paying the tax rates of various governments.

Qualcomm Tax, Cisco Tax, Microsoft Tax...... These companies will definitely not be good birds, not only selling products to make money, but also through patent barriers, similar to tax collection, directly from the products of other companies in the market to get a share.

In later generations, Huawei invested a lot in scientific research, not only to pretend to be a big force, so that opponents could feel Huawei's black technology. What's more, after the investment in science and technology has enhanced the patent reserve, it can really reduce costs.

Otherwise, not only will you have to accept the exploitation of a bunch of companies' patents, but also if you don't have your own core technology, it will be easier for your opponents to manipulate them.

After Huawei holds a large number of core technology patents, even competitors will use a large number of Huawei's patents, and Huawei will inevitably use other people's patents. The patents of both sides are mutual, you don't have to pay me, I don't have to pay you, win-win!

……

At the end of the month, all the handover activities were completely over, for which Nokia and the new start-up team held a grand celebration, which was less gunpowder smoke during the negotiation and a harmonious celebration.

"Lin, your team has impressed me deeply, they are meticulous in their work, they are very enthusiastic, almost no one has maintained their vitality, and there are no complaints about overtime. ”

Yoma Ollilah toasted to Lin Qi, heartfelt praise, the enthusiasm of the new business really surprised Nokia, the first night was still discussing the problem, the next day when they were not at work, William Zhang had already led a group of people to make a new exchange plan, if Nokia could follow the footsteps of the new venture in Shan, the patent exchange plan would be faster, the point is that in such an efficient situation, there is no error rate.

"No, I was also amazed by the enthusiasm of Nokia employees, and it is very important for me personally to be able to work with Nokia, and in terms of management, there is a lot to learn from your company. Lin Qi had a drink, looking at the jubilant party, he was in a good mood, this time except for the matter of Xinfei Electronics, everything was quite smooth, and the cooperation with Nokia was very successful.

As for the nice words, I don't want money anyway, and I just say it.

"I hope the friendship between our two companies will last forever!" Joma Ollilah had a blush on his neck, and he couldn't hear Lin Qi's praise, and raised his glass again with some excitement.

"Cheers!"

Lin Qi also raised his glass, he hadn't drunk for a long time, he also drank happily, and then when he was drunk and hazy, he returned to the hotel where he stayed.
